Previously on "eli stone"...

stone,senior associate at my firm,
was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.

I thought you'd changed.

All that's changed nowis that you're trying to
clean up your record justin case there's a hereafter.

All-star catcher jayson
turkhit a foul ball,

which struck his third
base coach in the head.

I didn't do anything.

Except find out your wifecheated
on you with the guy you killed.

I weathered your hostilitieswhen I
was with eli, but now that I work here,

I have got to know, what
the hell is your problem?

I don't like who eli becameafter
he started dating you.

You know I've beenseeing things lately.

It's crazy, huh?

I can't fire you, but I'm not obligatedto
provide you with an office or an assistant.

We're done.

Looks good, mr. Stone.

Check it again, frank.

I'm telling you, I smell
a gaseous substance.

Mr. Stone, it's 3:00 in the morning.

I've been standing in your apartment for
the last 45 minutes listening to you sniff.

smells like smoke, but there's like A...

fishy quality to it.

It's coming from the bedroom.

you have to smell that.

I really don't.

but I'll say anything to
get back to my apartment.

Maybe something died in my closet.

do you hear that?

No.

I like this blazer. Is it linen?

- what the hell?
- I'm sorry.

Sorry. There was A...thing in the...

- I tripped. -
Okay.Word of advice--

do yourself a favor and buy a plunger,

'cause the next time your pipes
back up, you're on your own.

eli, what are you doing?

I'm just making a few adjustments.

Well, you keep that up, you're
gonna break your station.

It's not a station.

This is my office.

Well, your office is
tilted to the right a bit.

Here...

And here.

You know, if taylor finds out you're
answering my phone and bringing me coffee...

Is that cinnamon?

Nutmeg, and don't worry about taylor.

I'd like to see her try
and say something to me.

Peter johnson, peter johnson...

these--these are all
from the same guy.

Confirming and reconfirming
your lunch today.

Apparently, mr. Johnson is under the
impression that you are much busier

than you actually are.

I am busy--with
scut work.

I'm like the world's
highest-paid intern.

Stone?

If, uh, I haven't said it already, I'm
sorry about the whole aneurysm thing.

Tough break, man.

Does it affect your fine motor skls?

No, not really.

- It's-- it's
mostly- - good.

I'm gonna need this redline
proofed and duplicated by noon.

Thanks, buddy.

that was a quick trip to the file room.

Wasn't it, though?

We should...

I had another call go straight
to voice mail while you were gone.

That happens.

And my schedule, patty-- I need
to know when my meetings are.

You mean like the wednesday morning
meeting that's going on right now?

So hurry on. Don't be late.

Was there anything else?

no. I think we're good.

first up, if you pay attention
to nothing else this morning...

pay attention to
this--arvin solinsky.

yes, there is somethingabout
that name that quiets the room.

Dueto extenuating circumstances, we're going to
needa new senior associate on the solinsky team.

You all have the file. Become experts.

For one of you,it won't
be a waste of time.

Next item-- people
vs. Jayson turk.

Mr. Dowd, mr. Bennett, what's
happeningwith our baseball star?

I saw espn covered his arraignment live.

And the late nightcomedy shows.

Everyone snickeringat the suggestion
that jason turk's a murderer

'cause he hit the foul ball
that killed his third base coach.

Who happened to be havingan affair with his
wife, who happens to bea celebrity ball player,

who happens to be
using steroids--

allegedly using,as in doesn'T.

the adage "there's no such thingas bad
publicity" doesn't applyto criminal matters.

Make this go away.

We've got a sit-downwith the A.D.A.Scheduled
for this afternoon to do just that.

god!

I'm sorry.

Aneurysm time-out. Sorry.

mr. Stone?

peter johnson.

Junior?

Sorry, but if I toldyour assistant
was 15 and wanted youto represent me,

I don't think you would have shown up.

Only 'cause I
don'tpractice pediatric law.

I googled you-- big settlements,big
judgments-- your name's all overthe law blogs.

You're exactlythe kind of lawyer I need.

So...

what's the case?

You suingthe school cafeteria to
put french friesback on the menu?

My mom died, and I want to
suethe doctor who killed her.

Sorry, peter.

Last year, my mom laurawent
in for minor surgery--

hernia operation.

The anesthesiologist,dr. Agon,

never botheredto check her charts,gave
the wrong anesthesia, and...

they said she hada heart
attack at the table.

It's all in the file.

Looks like you've been
to a few lawyers already.

Six.

So you know what I'm about to tell you.

Malpractice is alwaysdifficult to prove.

What does your dad say?

It was just and my mom--
now me and my grandma.

That's awful, peter.

I'm not lookingfor sympathy.

I've got cases in the file--about
a dozen-- 7-figure settlements,

7-figure settlements,$9
million, $10 million each--

and with the right kindof lawyer behind me,
with the resources of a firm like yours, I--

well, you see,that's the thing.

I mean,my firm isn't exactly...

I've been kind of demoted,and, um,

they won't let me take onnew
cases right now, so I...

"dragon."

No, his name's agon.

I guess I shouldget his name
right if I'm gonna besuing him.

a single mom?

And she diedon the operating table?

You should meet this kid.

He's all alone.

It's tragic, really.

It is to those of us
actuallyinterested in helping people.

I am interested in helping people.

Only becauseyou're afraid of dying,
and you're tryingto suck up to god.

Maggie, I-I'm sittingin a cubicle.

I don't even havemy own stapler anymore.

Believe me, there arefar less humiliating
ways I could be sucking upto god.

Besides, you're perfectfor this case.

No o else has the heart,
the warm compassion--

now you're sucking up to me.

No, I'm not.

We work great together.

We're like a team.

Were like a team.

My suggestion?

Go find yourselfanother peon to pee on.

Okay, fine.

Be pissed at me, but don't take it
outon this kid-- this poor orphaned kid.

You are unbelievable.

It's like I'm a fishand you're
using a kid and his dead mom as bait.

Is it working?

First year associatescan't
try cases alone.

It's firm policy. It's inviolate.

Yes, but I wouldn't be
tryingthe case alone.

Eli--mr.
Stone is--

dead to me.

Improperly so, sir, but still alive enoughto
remain a senior associate, at least, technically,

and sincehe can still practice law,
thanks particularly to you, sir--

flattery and judicious
useof loopholes--

clearly, you knowthe
fastest way to my heart.

Very well.

Have at it-- with the
caveatthat you will first chair.

You realize that I've--I've never first
chaired a dinner party,let alone a--

mr. Stone is on probation.

He is not to participatein this trial.

If he so much as sneezesin open
court, you will be held responsible.

And by "responsible,"you mean...

I can't fire mr. Stone, but
youenjoy no such protection.

Good luck with the case.

Wishing you nothingbut the best.

Eli Stone
Season01 Episode07

you're late.

And you're wearing two different shoes.

I am?

Well, it's your fault.

I'm operating on zero sleep.

- I'm terrified, eli.
- Of what?

Of losing this case, of getting
completely and totally fired...

your fianc�e, who's been staring daggers at me
ever since you and i went to hawaii together.

On a case, just like this one.

Besides that, she's my ex-fianc�E.

Besides that, the
dagger's all in your head.

Helpful tip-- don't ever tell
a woman, particularly the one

who's a senior associate on
your case,that she's paranoid

Oh, yeah. This isn't gonna get old.

First thing I want you to do
is fast-track a trial date.

I did it this morning.

Great. Excellent.

Then you can get to work drafting
the subpoena for surgical records.

Uh, pre, during
and post--done.

Okay.

Good. Good job.

Um, agon's assets.

I got an internlooking
into them. What time is it?

Oh, 9:20.

Okay, we have to getto a depo at
the hospital where peter's mom died.

You noticed a deposition
withoutrunning it past me first?

I'm lead counsel.

You're right.With your job in danger,

of courseyou'd want to make all the decisions
without any input whatsoever from me.

Well, scheduling that
depo wasa smart idea.

Good initiative.

Okay, then,so now I'm going to...

Borrow a pairof matching shoes,
grab your notes, back here in five.

Okay.

Guys, this has been
going onfor too long.

Me being here--this
seems like a mistake.

I pay you to talk to
the D.A. I don't have to.

You want to give swerensome face time.

Show him that respect.

Respect?

I did nothing wrong.

This feels like I'm looking for a favor.

No, that's why we've
gothim traveling to us.

You're the reasonable citizenrespectfully
pointing out the error of his ways.

Which is why we wantedyour wife
here-- to show a little support.

Yeah, well, I guess she thoughtshe was supportive
enough by sleepingth my third base coach.

She's kind of moved out.

That's tough. I'm sorry.

Wasn't exactly her choice.

I kind of packed for her.

Pragmatically, jayson,if
you guys could reconcile,

that wouldn't bethe worst
thing, trial strategy-wise.

He's kidding, right?

I thought the whole ideabehind meeting
with this guy was to avoid a trial.

It is.

All I'm
saying is--

this just got messengered
overfrom the a.D.A.'S office.

Where is the A.D.A.?

He's not coming. Put it in.

I bet you a thousand bucks
you can't do that again.

- All right.
- All right.

Mikey, one right over the plate.

well, guess we know why the
A.D.A.Didn't cometo our meeting.

He didn't have to.

Cause of that?

our defense was gonna be "who could hit
a ballaccurately enough to kill somebody?"

That tape's the answer.

He's gonna argue it
provesmeans and premeditation.

That was mejust goofing around.

Believe me when I tell youit's not going
to play that wayto 12 people in a jury box.

We need to talk about some options.

No, absolutely not.

We're going into the court with a
straightnot-guilty defense-- nothing less.

- Jason, listen to me-
- no.We're done talking.

I was right the first time.

I should have stayed home.

You're the lawyers. You fix this.

I'm not going to courtbecause
I hit a damn baseball.

why are you so intenton
selling out our client--

dude, I know you got, like,a jayson turk
lunchbox and everything, but wake up.

Intentionally killing a guywith a foul
ball's obtuse, even for wyle E.Coyote.

I don'tcare what's on that tape.

An opinion informed by,what, your two and
a half weeksof criminal defense experience?

He's your idol.

I get it, but all the jury's gonna seeis a black
man who killed the guywho was banging his wife.

That video's a smoking gun.

We got a meetingwith the judge tomorrow.

If we can getthe smoking gun excluded,
will you get behinda straight acquittal?

That's a pretty huge "if."

and in your capacity as
administratorof cypress memorial,

were you present for workon
march 26th of last year?

Are you really gonnaask me that
question for every dayof the past year?

Well, I-I liketo be thorough.

Ms. Dekker, let me
jumpto the bottom line.

When you have a patienttaking migraine
medication, like ms. Johnson was,

and an anesthesiologistwho
pushed opiates, like dr. Agon did,

you end up with whatwe
call a serotonin storm.

It's preventable, and it's
what killedyour client's mother.

And so
you--

fired his ass,and then i tried to figure out
why in the hellwe hired him in the first place.

Why?

Is my favorite vowel.

Agon camevery highly recommended.

We didn't hear anyof the rumors
until after laura johnson's death.

What rumors?

Negligence, malpractice, a mortality
rate15% higher than the norm.

The truth is, st
vincent'sunloaded this guy on us.

They knew aboutagon's track
record and covered it up

because they were
exposedall over the place.

You can't blameanother hospital
for malpractice committed at yours.

You wanna sue us, go ahead.

Shut me down.

I haven'tslept in three years.

Of course, you'll bedepriving this
community of the only E.R.In 20 miles.

I have a better idea.

- We drop our lawsuit
against your hospital- - what?

And you retain us as counsel.

Peter johnson will
be your co-plaintiff.

I'm sorry, ms. Brehe, but he's
really notsupposed to be speaking.

Who are we all suing?

St.Vincent'S.

My client and your hospitalboth suffered
because st. Vincent's lied by omission.

I like the sound of that. I'm in.

What's our next step?

I avoid getting killedby my brother.

St.Vincent'sis his hospital.

dude! What the hell?

Uh, nate,did
we have a--

you sue my hospital,my place of business,
and you don't even tell me first?

I was going to. I was.

But then I knew thatyou
would get really mad,

and there would be yelling,and
obviously I was wrong.

You want to know how I spent my morning?

Golf? I heard thatdoctors like golf.

In the chief of staff's
office,listening to him lose his mind

because some jackassis suing our hospital for
malpractice committed atsomeone else's hospital!

Well, aren't youoverreacting a little?

I mean, it's not like
I named you in the suit.

That is not the point.

We don't need lawyersto
keep us honest, eli.

Someone dies on the table,no one wants
to find out what went wrongmore than us.

Now what we don't need is to be
dragged into court because some...

because someoneis
looking to make a buck.

St.Vincent's dumpedthis guy, nate, and a
15-year-old kid's mom died because of it.

So you can go back,and you can tell
your boss that you tried your best,

t the money-grubbing ambulance chaserthat
you're related to just couldn't be swayed.

Videotape has no
evidentiary value? Really?

That's their argument?

Not all videotape.

This particular videotape.

Well, someone should let the supreme court know,
because this would certainly be news to them.

Look, now counsel's just being an ass.

Hey, I got an idea.

Why don't we exclude the entire baseball
game during which coach quesada was killed?

That was on video.

Mr. Bennett, you were being premature.

Now the A.D.A.'S being an ass.

your honor?

You pin your case on
anonymously sourced video.

Did you really imagine there
wouldn't be a motion to exclude?

No, but I...

didn't imagine you'd actually grant it.

I haven't granted anything yet, but
I am going to hear their argument.

Call me crazy.

Your honor, evidence is only admissible

if it's more reliable than prejudicial.

- And here it's not reliable because it's digital.
- Bet you 1,000 bucks you can't do that again.

All right. All right.

Mikey, throw it right over the plate.

you swing that lumberpretty good, paul.

Did you play college ball?

It's a stunt.

True, but it's a good one.

Without the author of the tape,
I can't determineits reliability.

The recording's out.

Defense motion granted.

My name is trevor snyder.

I'm chief administrator for st.
Vincent's hospitalin san francisco.

This is a copy of the 8-0-5health
facility reporting form

received by your
counterpartat cypress memorial,

already admittedas plaintiff's "B."

Could you read the
highlightedparagraph out loud?

"It is with great regretthat
I recommend jeffrey agon-- "

regret not because I
haveconcerns about his ability "

but because a doctorof his unassailable
record is impossible to replace."

And now could youread it again...

louder?

Or...

instead, could you...

tell me whose signatureis at the bottom?

That would be mine.

And when you wte in the letter...

that dr. Agon's recordwas
unassailable, what did you mean?

It means that his
recordcould not be attacked.

Why is it thatcypress memorial
heard nothing about the...

three patientswho died at your hospital?

Wasn't dr. Agonthe anesthesiologist
in all three surgeries?

He was clearedof any wrongdoing.

Dr. Agon himself was calledto account for the
incident at our morbidityand mortality conference.

Yes, the m&m conference.

- I thinkI'd like to see the transcript.
- Objection.

Under evidence code 1157, peer review
conference transcripts are inadmissible.

Sustained.

Get at it another way.

So...

three patients deadin two months.

I guess the only explanationwould
just be what, bad luck?

Those patients diedin my
hospital, ms. Dekker, on my watch.

I don't appreciatewhat you're implying,

and I certainly don't approveof what
you're doing to my colleague's reputation.

- You mean attacking his record?
- Yes.

Well, if I'm doing that...

it's not exactlyunassailable, is it?

how awesome was I today?

You were awesomely awesome.

You signaled it. I said it.

It was likeI was inside your head.

You know, I-I made up a littlesong about
first chairing. You want to hear it?

Maybe later...

but, you know, probably not.

So we have dr. Agon himselftomorrow.

Now he won't underestimate you.

You have to hammer him.

He'll say,"accidents happen."

But he's had an above
averagenumber of accidents.

Don't get into statistics.

The jury will tune out.

And keep peter in your eyeline.

Don't forget about him.

If you remember why you're
there, the jury will, too.

I'm sorry.

And don't apologizebefore you've
screwed up. It's not encouraging.

No. I meant...

I'm sorryfor how I reacted...

to your aneurysm.

Thanks.

But...

what does this haveto do with our case?

You really care about it...

not just about winning. You
care about winning itfor peter.

You're right.

You're an object of ridicule, a professional
pariah reducedto barely practicing law.

Thank you. I feel better.

If you're sucking up to
god,there are better ways.

Yeah, well,god and I enjoy a
prettycomplicated relationship.

At least nowI'm starting to
believe in what he wants me to do.

It's like I see things now,you know?

Things that were always
there but that I just...

I never noticed before.

Like people who need help.

Including high-anxiety, borderline
competentjunior associates.

Well, at leastI'm borderline now.

- How are you?
- Good.I'm good.

How are you?

There's noay to ask
thiswithout it sounding weird,

but I have a surprise that I'm sure
no one wouldappreciate more than you.

So I was hoping thatyou'd
be free tomorrow night?

Uh, tomorrow night.

Looking forward to it.

Me, too.

medicine'sdirty little secret
is that it's notan exact science.

I wish it were.

So if medicine isn'tan
exact science, dr. Agon,

does that meanthat operational
complications are never the doctor's fault?

Not never,but in this instance I was
cleared bya very thorough investigation.

This thorough investigationbeing
the m&m conference,

which is shrouded
behind a veil of secrecy.

Objection.

I would actuallylike to answer that.

I petitioned the hospitalto
release those transcripts.

It was my reputation on the line.

The hospital'spathology department attributed
those deathsto "malignant hypothermia."

What is that?

On rare occasions,a patient will have an
extreme and fatal reactionto anesthetic.

The body temperature will
spike,and the heart fails.

And it's
completelyunforeseeable, like...

lightning.

That's right.

So what you're saying is
thatthree of your patients just...

happened to bestruck by lightning?

Your metaphor belittles the
very real human tragedyhere.

Your admittingand O.R.Privileges were
suspendedfor six months last year.

Ist that right?

Yes, because I wason
sabbatical, not suspension.

I took six months offto finish my
book, "principles of anesthesia,"

which is now being taught in
medical schoolsacross the country.

I'm sorry for your loss,son.

And more than anythingin this world,
I wish I couldbring your mom back.

Was that as big a
disasteras I think it was?

No, it could have been worse.
It could still be going on.

Why didn't you tell me shewas
gonna do all the talking?

I hired you, not her.

Well, we're a team, and we'renot
done fighting yet-- either of us.

Going to court was supposedto make it all
better, but I feel worse now than I did before.

I'm gonna make you a
promisethat I'm not supposed to.

There's no amount of moneythat we can win
for you that's gonna make upfor what happened.

That's notwhy you're
here anyway. You want...

justice, right?

Well, that's the promiseI'm
gonna make to you.

I won't stopuntil you get it. Okay?

I was just calling you.

Celebration dinner
tonight--you, me and turk.

You're paying.

No, I'm not, 'cause
there'snothing to celebrate.

Sweren just deliveredan
updated witness list.

First
addition--carly turk.

That's okay.

We roll with it. She can't hurt us.

You're right. She can kill us.

She's the murderer's wife,matt.

Think she doesn't havesomething to say?

Listen to you--callingyour
own client a murderer?

You actually believe he
killed this guy on purpose?

When are you gonnaunderstand this?

It doesn't matter what I believe.

They're not gonnaconvict
jayson turk. You...

you ever evenwatch a
baseball game, keith?

This guy's the greatestcatcher
since johnny bench.

He-- he's a
national treasure.

Open your eyesand be
aawyer for a minute.

The D.A.Believes they havethe
crime of the century here.

They're prosecutingan
overpaid celebrity.

They got 100,000 witnessesto the crime, and
now they got his own wifetestifying against him.

It is time for usto earn our keep and come
up with a strategy beyond "he didn't do it."

Even if he didn't?

Ask yourself this...

you want to be his friend, or
you want to keep himout of jail?

I'm glad you called.

really?

Love surprises.

At $3,000 a ticket,you better.

$3,000?

Is jimi hendrix playing?

It's for charity.

Don't worry. My careertook
a nice upturn today.

I think I'll be able to afford it.

What kind of upturn?

- I got solinsky.
- You...

are you upset?

No, I could not be happier.

You seem disappointedthat
I'm not disappointed.

Just surprised...

and maybe a little
confused. I-I don't know.

I was prepared for disappointed
or jealous or even angry,

but "couldn't be
happier"throws me a little.

Well, I don't knowwhy it should.

I guessit wasn't that long ago
when youwould have been upset.

Well...

I'm in a different placein
my life now, I guess.

Different place from me.

ladies and gentlemen--
george michael!

Oh, not now. Please.

Thank you so much for coming.

'Older'---George
Michael

this is incredible!

full circle.

thank you for that.

Thought you mightenjoy the real thing.

Yeah, I thought I was nevergonna get to see george
michael when he wasn't standingon my coffee table.

Turned out to be kindof
appropriate, I guess.

George's house call marked the
beginningof the end for us,so...

- listen, taylor-
- so I was thinking,

maybe weshould give each other
some breathing room at work...

steer clear, you know, just
untilwe get our bearings.

I'm sorry. What were you gonna say?

Same thing, you know?

Breathing,steer clear, bearings,

but just less concisely and
with noneof the right words.

- Travel safe.
- You, too.

nate?

you're a knight.

No, no. It--it
is night.

It's, like, 2:00 in the morning.

You know something, nate,and
you're supposed to help me.

I had another vision!

you meananother episode.

Okay.

So I sued your hospital'cause I
was gettin' flybys from a dragon.

And now I'm gettin'nearly trampled
to death by a knight on a horse.

Nate, the knight was you.

An hour ago,you were chasing a dragon
down foster street on horseback.

An hour ago I was here asleep, and
myorse hasn'tbeen ridden all night.

Can I please go to bed now?

My client's mother was
killedby dr. Agon's malpractice.

Dr. Agon.
D-r--agon.Dragon.

Knights slay dragons, nate.

Do you have any idea
howdelusional you sound right now?

I mean, it's like watching charles
manson on the "wheel of fortune.

"What--how did I know your
patientwas gonna die last month,

or--or about the songthat you
and dad sang on the fishing trip?

You believed me!

I believed that they weremassive
coincidences that totally blew my mind.

Yeah, oh, and I washammered at the time,

so if you had told meI had a third
arm growing out of my forehead,

I would have believed you on that, too.

You know somethingabout my case!

Now what is it?

You wereat agon's m&m conference.

You meanthe confidential proceeding that

I'm not allowed totalk
about even if i was there?

That m&m conference?

I need to know what was saidat
that meeting. You can tell me.

No, I really can'T.

That's what"privileged" means, eli.

I would think as a
lawyer, you'd know that.

Were you part of the cover-up?

No! God, no.

And, yeah, I thoughtthe
guy was incompetent.

One of the nurses called
him"a lawsuit in scrubs."

But I had no idea that
theyhad lied about his record.

Anyway, it doesn't matterwhat I think.

There is no judgein the known universe who will
allow me to testify about what was said in that room.

You're right...

but youjust helped me anyway.

do you understandyou're
still under oath?

I do.

Mr. Snyder, you testifiedthat dr. Agon had resigned
from your hospital,that you didn't fire him?

Yes, that is right.

Is thatclear enough this time?

And just before dr. Agon
resigned, he lost a patient--

a man named eric shelby.

And by "lost," I mean killed.

Dr. Agon didn't kill anyone.

He was cleared ofany
malfeasance or negligence.

At your hospital's morbidityand
mortality conference, right?

Spifically the one
heldaugust 11th, 2006?

Objection.

Perhaps ms. Dekker'sforgotten what's
said in these conferences is privileged.

I haven't asked mr. Snyderwhat
was said at the conference.

Stay on the right sideof that
line, counsel. Objection overruled.

Are notes takenat these m&m conferences,
specificallythe august 11th conference?

Yes, there was alwaysa
stenographer present.

We take detailed
notes,but you must--

and don't those notesreflect testimony
establishingsignificant negligence on the part of dr. Agon?

Did his nurse describe him
as "a lawsuit in scrubs"?

- Those transcriptsare privileged!
- Is that a yes?

Objection, your honor!

- Is that a yes, sir?
- Counsel hasn't produced thesetranscripts to the defense.

I haven't introduced
any transcripts... yet.

Objection overruled.

Answer the question.

Was theresignificant negligence?

Yes.

And one lasthing--if dr. Agon hadn't
resigned, you were going to fire him,correct?

Yes.

That might be something his
next employerdeserved to know...

don't you think?

$500,000, exchange of releasesand
a confidentiality agreement.

$500,000? that'S...

insulting.

I'm insulted.

I'm advisingmy clients to be insulted.

The malpracticeyour client's suing for
wasn't committed at my client's hospital.

After what jushappened, I'm not sure
the jury cares,but maybe I'm wrong.

1.1 I don't have
boardauthorization to go any higher.

Too bad, 'cause you'regonna
have to go higher.

1.5 firm.

Take it or leave it.

- I think
we'll- - take it.

- Take it.We'll take it.
- No!

It's not enough.

Could we have the room,please?

you promised. This isn't justice.

1.5 million isa lot of justice, peter.

You were right.

Money won't bring my mom back.

I want someone to saythat
what they did was wrong.

I can't promise you that.

No lawyer can.

I don't knowwhat the jury's gonna do.

I guess...

I need to find out.

All right, peter.

If that's what you want to do,then...

we'll do it.

I am so sorry, tom. No, no, no.

It won't happen again.
I-- I prom--hello?

Patti?

Patti!

I just got off the phonewith tom
rayvert from chaykin technologies--

a call, I mighadd, I
had to pick up myself--

and he was furious that I hadn't
returnedhis five previous phone calls.

I'm sorry.

I can't imaginewhat could have happened.

Look, I know you think I'mthe
wicked witch of the west, but--

east.She was worse.

They dropped a house on her.

But I am your boss now, patti.

You are on my desk, which
means you have a choice to make.

I get a choice? Really?

Well, it's been niceworking with you.

No, patti, you have a choice
between workingat this firm or not.

When eli was demoted,they
were gonna let you go.

I intervened.

Eli loves you, and so I wanted
to protect youbecause of that.

So here's the thing--this
is entirely in your hands.

You decide how youwant this to play ouT.

Because after this last week,I
gotta be honest with you--

either way is fineith me.

has the juryreached a verdict?

We have.

In the matter of peter johnson and cypress
memorial vs. Saint vincent's hospital,

we finin favorof the plaintiffs and award
compensatory damagesin the amount of $28,000.

Because ofthe institutionalizefraud
on the part of st.Vincent's,

we further award punitive
damagesin the amount of $8 million.

$8 million is...

Remember, you have to
splitthat with cypress memorial.

Miss brehe said she was
gonnaname a wing afr my mom.

That's cool, right?

Seven lawyers later,glad
you hung in there.

Your mom would beproud of you.

*****

congratulations,counselor.

I have to go kill myself. Good-bye.

Maggie, it's
only weirdif we--

if this is how she
reactswhen she wins a case,

I do not want to be herewhen she los.

No, it's not about
the case. She's just...

you don't want to know.

Even if I did, my boss wouldn't
approveof me wasting my time.

Speaking of which,have
you seen ms. Wethersby?

"Ms. Wethersby"?

Yes.

Jordan wants tosee her in his
office-- apparently, you, too.

The day started offso well.

Life is fullof disappointment, eli.

Are you all right?

Yeah. It's just...

it'S... it's no fun anymore.

Well, I guess that's
whythey call it "work."

Never used to feel like it.

No, she isn'T.

May I take a message?

temporary insanity?

Are you kidding me?

It's stilla "not guilty" plea.

Yeah, not guilty'cause I'm crazy.

What happened to not
guilty'cause I'm not guilty?

Your wife happened.

I thought wives couldn't
testifyagainst their husbands.

We tell you your wife'scooperating
with the D.A., And that's your response?

Man, what other kind of
responseare you looking for?

Uh, "she couldn't possiblyhave
anything to tell the D.A.

I never threatenedthat man."

Something like that would be nice.

The dude was screwing my wife.

Of course I threatened him.

That doesn't mean I killed him.

But that's the way it looks,jayson.

I don't care how it looks.

Look, we're notyour entourage, okay?

You pay us to tell youwhat you
need to hear, not what you want to.

This will work.

The lawsays you're not guilty
if you weren'tin your right mind.

Steroids tendto have that effect.

I told you,I don't do that crap.

Bottom line--you admitto the steroid use,
we can protect youon the murder charge.

You agree with him?

Jayson, listen to me, man.

The day I passed the bar, you--you
hit for the cycleagainst detroit.

The day I joined this firm, you--you
caughtbalderrama's no-hitter.

I could chartmy entire adult life by the
things you did in yours,and I'm tellin' you...

I'm not so sure you weren'taimin' for
your coach, and I'm your biggest fan.

So you tell me...

what's a jury gonna think?

If I say I'm juicin',that's it.

They'll kick meout of the league...

my sponsors... hall of fame...

we're talkin'about your life here.

Baseball is my life.

I'll think about it.

You're not fooling anyone,mr. Stone.

Though ms. Dekkerwas
the attorney of record,

courthouse insiders havealready
been able to figure out

who truly deserves the creditfor this
afternoon's victory in the st. Vincent's case.

I didn't do
anything special--

this changes nothingbetween us.

I mention the courthouse gossiponly because
it reached the ears of arvin solinsky.

Our high-profile client feels
he needsa high-profile attorney,

- and like it or not,eli's profile
keeps-- - keeps getting higher.

Solinsky doesn't need me.

Taylor's a far better choice.

Believe me, I made that
case,but he wants you.

And regardless of what he wants,it would be
malpractice to entrust the casesolely to you.

Taylor, you'll stay onas co-counsel.

- What?
- What?

I recognize that the
timingis not ideal, but--

sir, you have to tell
solinskythat I'm unavailable.

Tell him anything.

Tell him I got hit by a bus.

Even if I got to drive
it,I couldn't do that.

- The firm can't affordto
lose solinsky. - But--

make no mistake. By the end of this
meeting, you will beon the solinsky case.

So let's jump to the endof this meeting.

What is ityou're looking for
here-- some of your privileges back?

Your expense account?

Your company car? Your old office?

I don't want my office back.

You havethe right person in there.

All I want is four walls and a door...

- no more cubicles.
- Done.

And one more thing.

eli stone's office,please hold.

Hello, sweetie.

I'm hereto see mr. Stone.

Oh, right this way.

Mr. Johnson's here.

Nice office. It'S...unorthodox.

Eh, kind of goeswith my practice.

Is everything okay?

The school ceteria tookfrench fries off
the menu, so I'm thinkingabout suing.

my grandma told me I needto bring you a thank
you gift, and the checkhasn't cleared yet.

So I thought maybeI'd
give you something else.

my mom used to read thisto me
all the time when I was little.

I know it's weird
giving you a book, but...

it means a lot to me.

"MEDIEVAL TALES AND ADVENTURES"

Peter, this isthe
biggest fee I ever got.

Wait untilthe $2 million check clears.

anyway...

thanks again, mr. Stone.

Bye.
